Riley Nowakowski Transfers from Wisconsin to Indiana

Riley Nowakowski, a former Wisconsin tight end, has committed to Indiana University for his final season of eligibility. After five seasons at Wisconsin, where he played in 40 games and recorded 18 receptions for 131 yards and one touchdown, Nowakowski transitioned from linebacker to fullback and eventually to tight end. Indiana is looking to fill the void left by departing tight end Zach Horton, who will exhaust his eligibility after the 2024 season. Nowakowski, noted for his reliability as a pass-blocker, is expected to compete for playing time alongside returning players and recent signees. His addition marks Indiana's seventh transfer commitment for the upcoming season. Nowakowski's journey from walk-on to a scholarship player exemplifies his growth and determination in collegiate football.
